Referring tothedraivings, 1' represents a receptacle adapted to contain batter to i be r thoro'ughlymixed for the making of a cake.

or the like, and'a lidior cover 2 is provided for" closing the open'j top of said receptacle.-

'l his invention consists of fixing togthe cover I 2, operating mechanism now tobe described. Fixed to the cover 2 by'rivets .3 and. 4 are the oppositely extending feet 5 and 16 of thereof is I a right brace 12 for the upright-bars? and" 8 is fixed at 13 tojthewc over 2 and-at 14 to a fcr'oss bar 15 extending between and fixed to upright bars 7 andS, Whichare bent inwardly at 9 and 10, and fixed between the upper ends a horizontal handle 11; An up- -said bars in any suitable manner.

are provided for holding said Rotatably mounted in the upright bars 7and'8 is; a hori- -zontal shaft '16 having a suitable crankhanijdle 17 fixed thereto.

A suitable gear l8is fixed at 19 to the shaft 16 for engaging a pinion 20 fixed at 21 to the upper endofa vertical rod22, which passes through afcentral opening 23 of the-cover 2. 'Longitudinal movement ofthe shaft lfi is prevented by the gear 18 engaging the pinion 2O Washer and a cotter pin'at 24. i i

Fixed to theinner side of the cover 2 meansof the before mentioned rivetsf3 and-4c 1s a bar 25 having a depending yoke center,

26 anddownwardly turned endlugs 27 and 28, Whichareadapte d to :fit into and engage the sides of thereoeptacle lfor holding said cover rigidly and securelythereon, The yoke 26 is provided with an opening at 29 for thevertical rod 22, and said yoke serves as a bearingand also a guide for saidrod. suitable paddle 30, preferably of sufficient Width toleave but slight clearance between and a by i its vertical edges 31 and the inside of the receptacle 1,and having openings 32 there through, is fixed to the lower end of the rod For enclosing the 20, a casing 33 is fixed to the upright bars 7 and 8 and the brace 12 and the cross bar 15. The front and open'end of the casing 33 is,

gear 18 and the pinion v closed by a removable door constructed of sheet-metal and having a knob 35. A

pair of Wire spring members, as shown at 36, fixed at 37 to the door 34 near each side thereof and having upturned free ends 38: adapted to e'ngage the horizontalshaftl 16,

door in position;

7 From the drawingsand description, it Will be apparent that such a cake mixing .unit is efiicient, is operated With a minimum of lab'onmaybereadily applied to a receptacle and Will be securely supported thereon. I
